## Conditions at Malibu

Malibu is open to the sea from the **NNW–SSE**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the S–WNW.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

When it's rough here, try [Manta Bay](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/indonesia/bali/nusa-penida/manta-bay) (19 km, sheltered from the NNW–SSE).

The water is warm to about 20 m.
